Ask the Monk

Asking questions is central to learning. It gives us a way to think and can open the door to unexpected insight. Probing how and why things are as they are can lead toward enlightenment, while keeping doubts to ourselves can keep us from the truth and from the opportunities life offers. We should keep inquiring, but which questions are worth asking?

In Ask the Monk, the monk Nityanand Charan Das gives clear answers to more than seventy questions that people, young and old, often ask. The topics include karma, religion versus spirituality, the mind, God, destiny, the purpose of life, suffering, rituals, wars and more.

The answers are intended to help readers begin their own journey of self-discovery and self-realisation.
